THE Macon ga Telegraph, one OF the
oldest and leading newspapers of the south,
writing OF the visit OF jefferson Davis TO
that city, says;
For the young men OF our country there is In
the life Of Mr.. Davis much to stimulate aud en-
couregc. The last Judgment of history upon
men deals with the PRINCIPLES which are the
basic centers OF their lives. When passion and
prejudice are dead and hate buried Ia the
coffin that holds them, the iVc Qf his man, up
hcidiVDc pillars NJ his Jdiih, 1cW stand forever IN
Americdn history monumental principle. Prob
ably II will be the most remarkable in this re-
spect upon which the eyes of posterity will
gaze, for none have met defeat like his, nos
like him have any borne reverse.
Not less than his was the grandeur OF Lee
and jackson and johnson and Stuart, and a
host of immortal dead. But around him the
fires have played, for a generation almost, after
these found rest.
And not alone the youth OF the southern
states, but Of the broad Union itself, while
differing with him, perhaps, may ponder be-
fore this monument and gain strength. The
Davis Of to-day is the Davis of yesterday, OF
twenty, OF thirty, of forty years ago, d7t no
uhce IN his iQe hare The lines Of duy d'mMcd OF
crossed. Peace nor peril have disturbed his
poise OF shaken the foothol1 of his resolution.
This is the verdict of one Of the most con
servatve OF southern Democratic news
papers. Yet we find some men saying that
no southern newspapers indorse what Gen.
Jackson said In his speech at Macon, when,
in fact, they all did, in language more or
lees explicit, until It was seen what storm
OF Indignation the words evoked In the
north.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,: The
following is true coM OF receipt for
money solicited from the employees of the
government printing Office, with the under-
standing that the names of the parties con-
tributing would be furnished the head OF
the office for favorable consideration:
NEW YORK, 1881, 1887.
Received from fifty cents con.
trIbution to the New York Democratic state
committee. EDWARD MuRPhY,. JR.,
sG.b0 Chairman,
g. =. o. Per q. " II.
The government printing Office was
thoroughly canvassed. The cashier OF the
office went 10 every person entitled 60 vote
In New York, and made II apparent to
them that they must go home and vote,
ard on their return furnish the name OF
the precinct In which they voted.
Never In the history OF the Office has there
been such complete system OF obtaining
money from both men aud women for
political purposes, and that In u manner
that left no doubt In the minds OF the em-
ployes that II the request was not com
piled with their places would be filled by
others.
The argument used TO obtain money was
about as follows: ''If Grover Cleveland,
President Of the United States, could cou-
tribute $1,000, certainly poor woman
could pay so cents" MEMO.
WASHINGTON, Nov. z.
National Republican., 1887-11-08
Bayonets and Calling Guns for Work
ingmen.

The attention OF the white Knights OF
I.abor-in fact Of the white workingmen of
the north, whether they belong to that or
any other organization of workingmen, Ia
called to the condition of affairs In part
Of the sugar districts Of Louisiana.
The Sugar Planters Association OF Louis.
lana Is divided into branches, one Of which
is composed Of the parishes of Iberia, La
Fourche, st, Mary's, st, Martin's and Terre-
bouDc. This district produces about one
third OF the sugar made IN Louisiana. The
population is about 10000 souls, slightly
the larger part Of these souls encased in
black bodies.
The sugar planters in the association
number about fifty or sixty persons, aud
require the labor of several thousand men
TO cultivate their plantations. The work of
sugar making lasts from ten to twelve
wCtks, commencing generally in the early
part Of October ana ending IN the latter
part Of December.
The work Of cutting the cane snd making
the sugar has to be done in this short period
to prevent damage by frosts, aud the la
'Nl'lo WYNN llOlh NuNISuI W hAihf uuu
tven longer, fourteen and sixteen hours
being the usual length OF days work.
These fifty orsixty sugar planters met and
settled the prices they would pay for this
Kind of labor, aud 1t was the enormous
sum Of one dOl'ar per day and .Gtty cents
fer watching at night,
All The laborers are negroes and most of
Il EN- ignorant and poor. Some ono told
them Of the advantages derived from or
ganlzatiop, and they became Knights OF
Labor, Last month they made schedule
Of prices, asking 81 25 a day for labor and
co cents a night for watching This was
refused aud they struck.
Immediately aud without call from the
ciYIl authorities of the parishes, Gov. Nc
Emery ordered troops with Gatllng gun
To the "Teche" county, and there men
nave been forced, at the point OF the
bryOpet and tho mu2zle Of a Gatllng gun,
National Republican., 1887-11-08

TO return to work at the wages dictated by
the sugar planters, behind whom is the
power of the state Of Louisiana.
Do the workingmen Of the country un-
derstand the significance OF this move
mentY The negroes Of the "Teche" are
practically disfranchised. Their votes are
Of no value, and for that reason they can
be forced to work at starvation wages In
the richest spot of land under the Ameri-
can flag.
The servile labor OF the south is servile
and controlled by bayonets and GatlIng
guns, because the white voters of the
north-the men who labor with their
bands-do not protect their Ignorant fel
low-worklngmen in the rights which the
